Ben Sira 51:26

26 Put your neck under her yoke, and let your souls receive instruction; it is to be found close by.

Ben Sira 51:26 In-Context

24 Why do you say you are lacking in these things, and why do you endure such great thirst?
25 I opened my mouth and said, Acquire wisdom for yourselves without money.
26 Put your neck under her yoke, and let your souls receive instruction; it is to be found close by.
27 See with your own eyes that I have labored but little and found for myself much serenity.
28 Hear but a little of my instruction, and through me you will acquire silver and gold.
